Sources of energy which are not renewable are those that use up a substance to create the energy. These include fossil fuel energy (oil, gas and coal) and atomic energy (uranium and thorium).

Sources of energy which are renewable are resources such as wood or other plant derived fuels. Generally included in this heading are those energy sources which are inexhaustible such as water power in its many forms, solar power, geothermal energy, and wind energy.
